Decision details

To seek approval of Witney LCWIP.

The Cabinet Member for Highway Management AGREED to approve the Witney Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan.

Development and implementation of LCWIPs for all the main urban settlements in Oxfordshire (LTCP Policy 3a) is one of Oxfordshire County Council's commitments to move towards the vision set out in the LTCP for "an inclusive and safe net-zero Oxfordshire transport system that enables all parts of the county to thrive".

A Climate Impact Assessment (CIA) is available in Annex C. The CIA for the plan is overwhelmingly positive, recognising the significant potential for improvements across the following climate impact categories:

a)    Transport and Connectivity (by supporting a shift to active travel)

b)    Buildings (by promoting sustainable development)

c)    Procurement and Investment (by investing in climate action)

d)    People and Organization (by driving behaviour change with enabling infrastructure)

e)    Just Transition (by promoting health and wellbeing through active travel, promoting engagement and coproduction, and reducing inequality).
